Nick Clegg - what is it?

Current leader of the UK's 3rd largest political party (liberal democrats). Before the first televised debate between the 3 main party leaders, it was commonplace to mock him for the fact that the media paid attention to the other candidates. Since the debate, he has become more popular as a political figure.

A politician and all-round bad boy from sheffield. Although a leader of a party which is renowned for fence-sitting, he's really done some crazy shit in his time.

"Damn, some crazy mother just set my cacti on fire"
"Must have been Nick Clegg"

What does "Nick Clegg" mean?

A Nick Clegg is a character with political promises that seem reasoned and optimistic in an age of austerity and financial setbacks for a nation, but in the oppurtunity of gaining political power and the oppurtunity to enact them, do the complete opposite and compromise all that he stands for and worked towards when he actually gains political office

Nick Clegg: I promise to cut taxes for the poor, improve services for the disabled, and cut the tuition fees for undergraduates in universities.
...
Nick: Where do I sign david?

...

Nick Clegg: we are now increasing the VAT to 20%, decreasing the provisions in the Disability Living Allowance and increasing tuition fees threefold. I feel dead inside, for I am Nick Clegg.
